I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends

Pilgrim badges (enseignes de pèlerinage) !
Au Moyen Âge, on rapportait déjà des souvenirs de ses voyages ! 🧭
Les pèlerins achetaient des petits objets en guise de souvenir et comme preuve de leur voyage : enseignes de pèlerinage ou encore ampoules.

an American response very similar to Wilson in 1918-1919 describing the destruction of Reims as not too bad

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has proposed a "brilliant" idea for how to end the war in Ukraine. And how no one thought of it earlier.

Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:
Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)
"We’re looking at a really grim downward spiral for Trump," says @timothynoah.bsky.social. All on the pod:

What the fuck were we doing opposing tyrants abroad only to let this happen to our homes?
US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

Someone asked me what the administration would do for the 250th anniversary of independence (1776) yesterday, and I said, "have a UFC match on the White House lawn, followed by a massive coronary and a going out of business sale."
Starting the sale early!

what a thing to see the night PBS puts on a documentary that includes the battles of Lexington and Concord
Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

Of the paths in journalism, one is starfucking and stenographer to the wealthy and powerful. Another is crusader journalism which is going to involve a lot of interviews with disadvantaged people or getting uncomfortably close to flying metal.
Which is more appealing to the elite professional?

For all that, fed prosecutors filed no criminal charges against anyone who was arrested.
Stunning report.
